An update! I was so happy to sign in and see this new chapter. Ginny really works in a department full of despicable men, I want to cry for her. Anyway thank you for continuing and I'll look forward to the remaining chapters.

Author's Response: Thank YOU for continuing to read despite my lengthy spans between updates. *hearts*hearts*hearts* Ginny really does work with some awful people. :/ Maybe that will change in the future!

I hope not two more years!.... But I'd also be lying if I pretended I wouldn't still read it however many months from now. Thanks so much for the update. I loved the details about Hermione's office, and that scene was well done. This is such an important topic that feels very pertinent at the moment, so to see it play out in fic is really bold and original.

Author's Response: I definitely hope it wonít take me two more years to finish this story! Thereís no reason I canít finish it by the end of 2019, but weíll see what happens. Thank you so much for hanging in there so far and being willing to wait even longer. I donít know what I did to deserve such amazingly patient readers, but itís because of everyoneís support that Iím also hanging on and not leaving this story unfinished. Thank you!

PLEASE tell me this guy and Scamander get their comeuppance. He makes my skin crawl off my bones. *Barf*

Author's Response: This was such an annoying chapter to write, but, ugh, it needed to be done. -_- Hopefully the ending will be satisfying enough as far as retribution against Junker and Scamander goes. *fingers crossed* Thank you for hanging in there with me and this story!

I’ve just binge read this whole thing the last couple of days. If I didn’t have to go to work I wouldn’t have slept until I finished it. I haven’t read too many drinny fics lately but I love this and it makes me just want more. You have a really interesting take on Draco and I’m really liking the story.

Author's Response: Ahhh, I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I've loved writing Draco in this story, and it's so gratifying to hear that other people find him as interesting as I do in this situation. I'm a little over halfway done with the next chapter, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a new update soon. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know what you thought! n_n

Yay for the update! Sorry it took me so long to review! Finally those two! Took them long enough :) I’m so glad Draco has Pansy as his friend. Relieved to know he doesn’t have to deal with Narcissa all on his own. I really do hope she comes to see Draco for what he is and what he wants. Cannot wait for more (the P/T prequel sounds also great)!

Author's Response: Draco has more support than he realizes!! ;o; I really wanted to show that in this chapter, that Draco thinks he's alone, but he's not. He's really really not. :) And no need to apologize about any sort of review, okay!! You took time out of your day to tell me what you thought, and that means a lot to me. Thank you so much for reading and hanging in there with me!!

YAAAAAY TO AN UPDATE!!!!! Waited for this for so long but it's so worth it!!!! And that smut as well made up for all those long months I am seriously crazy right now after reading this, still in bliss about what happened in this chapter! If we could just take Narcissa and Junker out please, this world would be in peace lol! But in all seriousness, it's well-written and it gave us new hope to imagine more of the next details to come in this story!!! *crossing fingers no more Junker lololol*

Thank you for spending time updating this!

Author's Response: Oh dear. If you're hoping for no more Junker, you are NOT going to like the next chapter... :D

Thank you for such kind words! Not that I did it on purpose, but I suppose if everyone had to wait so many months for a new chapter, THIS was a pretty good way to reward your patience. I'm glad you enjoyed it, especially after I agonized over the first part of this chapter for so long!! Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to let me know what you thought!

So glad it is coming together for them! I love this story so much. I don't mind inconsistent updates at all. This is good enough for me to just read over and over even if you abandon it, but please don't.

Author's Response: You are the sweetest!!! Definitely won't abandon this one. I have too much planned, and the ending is too satisfying (to me) not to share! Thank you for reading and taking the time to leave a review!

OMG THIS IS SUCH A GREAT FIC. I'M IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING!!!! from the story plot to the characters, everything is going so well and I really really enjoy reading it. Keep up with the good work dear author! I read all of this in 1 day haha best way to keep myself entertained :D. Can't wait for the upcoming updates!

Author's Response: Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you're enjoying the story. n_n I'll be working on finishing the next chapter as soon as possible!

Draco and Ginny are finally reunited and had an honest conversation which was needed. I loved it but the ending point ugh

haha I'll be checking for your next update. Oh I also just wanted to say that I love Pansy + Theo's relationship if I've never mentioned that before.

Author's Response: I know, sorry about the ending!! I did not set out to end it this way, but I figured this was better than making people wait even longer for an update. :) I'm so glad you like Pansy/Theo in this story! I've come to love them so much. Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to review!

FINALLY THE UPDATE IS HERE!!!! Been waiting for months now and this made my day swear!!! I've been depressed lately and seeing this beautiful comeback is a relief for me! Yay for Ginny and Draco getting more honest to each other! The building intimacy, the unstoppable longing for each other is now showing and i'm so happy that they're one step closer to being the real deal! But now I'm scared what will happen with Junker and Narcissa on the next chapters wooooh!!!!

Thank you for this great chapter!

Author's Response: I'm so sorry to hear you've been depressed. :((( I'm glad I was able to brighten your day though! I really think the best parts of this story are coming up, and soon enough we'll see what Junker has been up to... ;) You are welcome and thank YOU for reading and taking the time to review! n_n

"Don't you fucking dare come to Paris or I'll hex your bollocks off" I can hear her saying that and now I can't stop laughing. Also, mad kudos to Draco for loving her enough to listen, but HE SHOULD GO TO PARIS!!!

Author's Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter, even though Draco was despairing the whole time! These are my favorite kinds of chapters to write, I guess because I like to see Draco in Pain. ;D

This is the real review for this chapter. First off, I'm an so glad that Ginny and Draco both realized they are in love with each other. Hip hip hooray!!

Ginny's arrival at Malfoy Manor was a twist I was not expecting. It had been a while since I read the previous chapter and had forgotten that a. Draco moved out and b. He was at work. So I was as surprised as Ginny that he was not there. Narcissa is a formidable woman and you certainly made Ginny more than enough of a match for her. Narcissa does not seem likely to change her tune, any time soon, but I really hope she does. Or at least Draco convinces her that she needs to let him live his life and stop meddling in his even though she disapproves.

I really like the way that Ginny did not budge an inch, but answered one of Narcissa's questions on her own terms. She did not let Draco's mother bully her. Hopefully exactly what she needs in her future confrontation with Junker the jacksss.

Colin and Draco's attempt to convince Stephanie to act against Junker was disappointing, I had high hopes they would be successful. But I didn't see it as a failure, more like strike 1 at bat, with another chance to stay in the game. It makes sense that she is still fearful and still letting that fear control her life. I think Draco's plan to inform Ginny of everything will be a winner and it will eventually get Stephanie onboard to help Ginny in the fight against Junker.

I'm looking forward to see how it will all unfold. The way you have fleshed out this story, from what you had originally is amazing. It's so much more than it was.

Author's Response: Ha! I didn't even think of Narcissa as something like a trial run for Ginny's eventual or potential confrontation with Junker!! Seriously though. If she can stand up to Narcissa Malfoy, she can probably take on anyone. Thank you so so much! This story has grown into so much more than I originally imagined it could be. Usually when I decide to expand a story, I have these high aspirations for an epic extension/rewrite, and then I ultimately fail to follow through with those ideas, so I'm really proud of the way THIS story has unfolded, and I'm so glad you've been enjoying the ride. :) Thank you for reading and leaving such thoughtful reviews!

I hit submit by accident...no comment except that it is the train's fault. I was trying to say that Ginny only needs to come to her own realization that the help she needs, she only needs to ask. It's such a difficult situation to be in, I would like to say that I wouldn't let myself get into such a situation, but you really don't know unless you are in that exact situation yourself. I hope Ginny's time with Glinda will help her stand up to that jackass Junker and or get the support she needs to do it on her own terms and admit to herself that it's okay to ask for help.

Author's Response: Ginny definitely needs help. Luckily she's going to ask for it really soon!! And, I agree, it's difficult to say what you would or wouldn't do in a situation like this, but until you're facing something similar, you just don't know how you would handle it. It's not something you can prevent, either, so it's hard to warn people against this kind of harassment or take precautions yourself. :(

I have to say that you have certainly made Junker even more detestable that I thought. I should have realized that he would eventually force himself on Ginny. I felt Ginny's despair and her determination to see it through by herself without help. I do wish she realized that help is only wa
